Re: orca-compatible display managers

Once I followed those instructions, I had temporarily a stable 
accessible environment as far as that can be managed on archlinux.  Some 
updates that I got as near as I can tell broke ability to login.  Beyond 
that, there's no audible indication as to when to login on lightdm with 
archlinux so accessibility will continue to be accidental until that 
problem gets solved one way or the other.  I had to use a 
talkingarchlinux install disk to disable lightdm to even be able to get 
to ssh and write this e-mail.  I have a 
/usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav file but don't know which file to 
edit to have that sound play at the correct time.  I did find out 
/etc/rc.local has the sound playing about a minute too early.
